Petronas Dagangan has announced the introduction of
ROVR, the country’s first mobile refuelling service. The service started as a
pilot project last October by serving commercial customers (B2B), providing
scheduled deliveries of Petronas Dynamic Diesel to fleet vehicles in which the
refuelling process take place at the customers’ premises, at their convenience.
The service, which has delivered over a million
litres of fuel since the project began, is now being expanded and its customer
base is set to widen. The current fleet of a 4,000-litre capacity and three
11,000-litre capacity trucks for commercial customers is being supplanted with
a 3,000-litre capacity truck for end-consumers, which is at its pilot stage.
End-consumers (B2C) will soon be able to experience
Primax95 with Pro-Drive through the workings of ROVR – the refuelling service
is slated to make its appearance at high-traffic hotspots, widening PDB’s
coverage area beyond the scope of traditional stations.
The process works much like a regular refuelling
process – all you need to do is drive up to a ROVR truck, park your vehicle,
choose how you want to pay, and wait as the ROVR Ranger (the term given to the
refuelling operator) fills up the tank. You also get Mesra points with your
fuel purchase.
The company said that its ROVR fuel trucks have been
certified to offer safe fuel delivery and dispensing according to the stringent
health, safety, security, and environmental (HSSE) requirements stipulated by
national authorities and regulatory bodies. It added that all its ROVR trucks
are equipped with sensors to monitor vital information and maintain operational
safety throughout the duration of service, at all times. According to PDB, it will expand
ROVR services nationwide by the end of the year and set up more refuelling
sites.
